It is possible that the terminal that used to run gromacs does not have GMX_MAXBACKUP set up. if you use some queue software, put "export GMX_MAXBACKUP=0" in the submitting script or even put it into your .bashrc file.<br>

Dear Justin,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your prompt reply and help.<br>
I understood about the first item, but even if I type<br>
export GMX_MAXBACKUP=0 (bash)<br>
it does not seem to work. What is the recommended<br>
procedure? Is there any problem with revision?<br>
<br>
I appreciate your help.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
